Just true socialism at work. The end result of socialism is the elimination of the middle class so that all you have left are the haves, like Bernie, and the have nots, the vast majority. Venezuela has achieved the ideal of socialism and is what everyone in a socialistic State has to look forward to.

Bernie Sanders never had a paying job in his LIFE until he got elected to congress!  Just sayin!

URL: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/08/socialist_bernie_sanders_spends_more_than_his_reported_net_worth_on_his_emthirdem_home.html

by: Thomas Lifson


The great thing about being an avowed socialist is that you get to posture as a self-righteous man of the people without forgoing the benefits of wealth.  Take the case of Bernie Sanders, whose self-reported net worth was $528,014, yet who just spent a reported $600,000 on a summer “vacation home” with 500 feet of lake frontage on gorgeous Lake Champlain.

What kind of elderly couple spends more than their net worth on a vacation home?  Certainly, at a minimum, we can say a couple with no financial worries.

Local Paper Seven Days Vermont broke the story Monday that Senator Sanders:

Quote
... is the proud new owner of a summer home in the Champlain Islands, Seven Days has confirmed.

The Burlington resident last week plopped down nearly $600,000 on a lakefront camp in North Hero. [What a perfect name for a New Englander seeking to lead a movement! - TL]

Sanders’ new crib has four bedrooms and 500 feet of Lake Champlain beachfront on the east side of the island — facing Vermont, not New York. The Bern will keep his home in Burlington and use the new camp seasonally. (snip)

Last Tuesday, the day of the closing, a relaxed-looking Bernie Sanders posed for a photo at Hero’s Welcome General Store on Route 2.



The new home marks the third Sanders residence.

Quote
The Sanders [sic] also own a row house on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., and a house in Burlington’s New North End.

I suspect that Bernie’s and Jane’s current net worth is about to be supplemented by a huge publisher’s advance, just as with “dead broke” Hillary Clinton.  In fact, there is a very decent chance that people will actually buy a book by Sanders, so the publisher will not have to mentally write off the advance as a political donation.

There are several career paths for government employees and elected officials.

School board, leads to other elected offices. Appointments to planning commissions, then start up the ladder.

Some start right in a the Senate level.

I know a guy who worked as a staffer in the building/planning department. But he left for private sector work. He has been a "consultant," for years that many developers retain. He knows the people, and he knows the ropes, so to speak.

Old Bern has simply decided to "monetize" his governmental career. Isn't his wife, a career government hack, too??

In total fairness, many on the right do precisely the same things.

"In total fairness, many on the right do precisely the same things."

Exactly!

This is how we got stuck with The Donald.

Trump is a figurehead. The real bad actors are the GOP Kingmakers who aren't on the ballot.

The people who gave us Obama's second term by sticking us with Romney as a candidate.

They got away with that so This time they had to shove someone at us who was even Less appealing than Hillary.

I had nothing in mind about Trump, or I would have said so.

I had Jim Demint and others in mind.

And I have a certain local lawyer in mind, that started in his 20s getting elected to city council, and turned that into a lucrative career advising political figures around here.

It is the revolving door, between offices, appointed positions, and private enterprise.

Dick 'Cheney is another good example. Aside from his stint at Halliburton, he's been a government hack all of his adult life.

And he got the Halliburton gig, because of his contacts at Wash DC, defense circles. He is a multi-millionaire.

One could ask: How did the Bush family make money, all these years for all of them?

That's nearly 3x the median home price for the state of Vermont.
